Best cheap game youve ever bought?

[Stormz]

Half life 2 for 10$. To bad I lost my Steam account pass and the email I used shut down when we switched internet services so now I can't play it anymore.

 

[Lord Mountbatten Reborn]

A few years back I was in a shop of some sort with my family. I had recently seen a Beyond Good and Evil advert and had been thoroughly entranced by it from the start. Luckily it was in stock at this very shop.

My incredibly mainstream stereotypical white-boy-pretending-to-be-black-but-can't-do-it-because-he's-not-cool brother begged and pleaded for some outrageously-priced £50 football game (I don't know or care which one, for they are all the same to me: crap). I looked very reasonable asking for a £7 game.

I loved Beyond Good and Evil from the moment I played it, and still do. I even got my little sister into it (she has far mroe taste than my brother). Best £7 ever spent in my life.

Theme Hospital. Yes, it is like any number of theme games like theme park, theme zoo, etc, but it is filled with the most fantastic black british humor. For example, the first disease you get is Bloaty head, where thy literally send in a man with a head three times too large, burst it with a pin and reinflate his head with a bike pump. $10

Fantastic game...
Good times

I got Hitlist 2005 a bundle of 6 games for £5.

Hitman: Contracts

Prince of Persia : The Sands of Time

Farcry

Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow

Toca Race Driver 2

Deus Ex: Invisible war

The strange thing is that very few (Read: none) are from 2005.

That's a nice price there mate! I got that pack for free when I bought a PC back in 2005, funny thing was the PC I bought wasn't capable of playing any of the games until I upgraded the graphics card and memory.

PC World by any chance?

Haha yes, the one and only!

 

[axia777]

The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion the Game of the Year Edition on EBay for $12.00 on the PS3. Man, I am still playing it a year and a half later. What a great game!

 

[Music Mole]

Heroes of might and magic 4 for 15 bucks at eb games, love it and there's an xpack too. still looking though.

 

[Sgt. Dante]

I think your exchange rates are a bit off... 10EU = 9GBP = $14 (roughly)

I recently bought Sacred2 for 8.99GBP, traded in some junk but totally worth it.

Also remember buying the orange box off steam for 5.66, that's not even a pound per game.

 

[Skeleon]

Sacrifice for 1.50 ?. Best bargain ever.

By the way, the Euro is worth more than the Dollar, so your exchange rates don't add up.

Arx Fatalis.

That game made me enjoy the RPG experience, so... yeah.

Ah, yes. Great game. Got it from a magazine, though.

 

[ClaptonKnophlerHendrix]

Psychonauts was the best $4 I ever spent.

Same here, but I paid $2.50, brand new. Store was closing down.

 

[Kuchinawa212]

Orange box
20 bucks
5 games in one! so 4 bucks a peice

 

[Nutcase]

Starcraft + Brood War for $10 remains the best deal I've ever gotten. I think I've bought it twice or thrice now (this game has some supernatural ability to get lost when moving).

 

[Fightbulb]

15 dollars for Saint's Row, or 9 dollars for KoF2002. So worth it.

 

[BehattedWanderer]

Metroid Prime, $6.98

 

[j1nx]

Orange box (on the cheap ass weekend) for ?9.99
best buy ever.

 

[Starke]

I got Planescape Torment for $9.95 a couple years back, just slightly before the game became impossible to ever find again.

EDIT: It was bundled with some awful PoS title so basically it was $4.97, but $10 is probably the right threshold for titles in the US, exchange rates aside.

What is the name of the bundle? Or was it some sort of promo pack?

As for me the best cheap game is Quake Life since it's the same as Quake 3 Arena with a lot of additions, and it's completely free.

It was a straight up bundle. They sold together in a kind of dual jewel case bundle they used to ship surplus games in. They stopped doing the bundles a couple years ago though.

Starcraft + Brood War for $10 remains the best deal I've ever gotten. I think I've bought it twice or thrice now (this game has some supernatural ability to get lost when moving).

I'm on my third copy now, and yeah, same thing. Every time I move the game disappears.

A-ha! So it's an entire phenomenon...
Now we should join our forces and find a bunch of people who find a SC+BW set every time they move, and grab ours back.
I never lose other games.
